Synopsis: Jakob the Liar (1999)
Synopis: In Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II, poor Jewish cafe owner Jakob accidentally overhears a forbidden radio news bulletin signaling Soviet military successes against German forces. To combat the overwhelming depression and suicide that pervades the ghetto, Jakob tells fictitious news bulletins about Allied advances against the Nazis. These lies keep hope and humor alive among the ghetto inhabitants-spirits are lifted, hearts are refreshed and hope is reborn. The Germans learn of the mythical radio, however, and begin a search for the resistance hero who dares operate it…Features: Jakob the Liar (1999)

Jacob the liar

ALMOST AS FUNNY AS A GOOD OL' GANG RAPE
, October 3, 20020 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Jakob the Liar review helpful Mork was funny in POPEYE, hilarious in ALADDIN, stunning in DEAD POETS SOCIETY - but, not up to this utterly shameless script. Shame on the Holocaust-survivor author. Direction, SUPPORTING cast, photography, and editing are rock solid.
